BANKING SKULLDUGGERY.
HARPER, or FIDELITY FAME, TELLS
WHAT HE KNOWS

Regarding the Way Some Cincinnati Bank
ers Keep Their Trusts--An Insight into "A
State OF Things That Suggests Striped
Clothes for Several People, IL True-As-
sorted Immoralities.
CINCINNATI, July &c L. Harper, the
vice president of the Fidelity bank, who is
now in the county Jail awaiting trial on the
charge of crooked transactions said to re-
porter that he bought stock OF the bank the
day before the failure, and on Saturday be-
fore the fatal Tuesday he put $4,000 on de-
post.
"If that bank examiner had not come,"
continued Harper, everything would have
been all right At the time of the Handy
wheat deal the safe. of the Third National
bank was Quilted, not thing in it, and an
agreement was entered into by five gentle
men to pay Ammi BALDWIN, the cashier,
s., 900 apiece for saying nothing about what
was going on. Those gentlemen were George
Wiltshire, president of the Third National
bank, William Woods, vice presidents w. H.
Chatfeld, Joseph Wiltshire and myself. The
only one who paid Baldwin $1,000 was my
self, and that is all he got for his services.
The other four never fulfilled their agree
ment That agreement was in writing
and signed by those gentlemen, and it is now
in my possession"
"The presence Of the bank examiner" con-
tinued Harper, "was caused by the activity
of Mr.. j. D. Hearne OF the Third national.
Mr.. Hearne became quiet all at once and
quit talking about the Fidelity, and the
reason of that is because Mrs. Baldwin went
to Gen. Hickenlooper, president of the gas
company, and told him that he must make
Mr. Hearne stop talking about her husband
or she would tell an interesting story about
Mr.. Hearne, and some transactions between
him and Gen. Hickenlooper. Mrs. Baldwin
referred to the fact that the sanctimonious
HeaIne stole the books of the old Third ma
tional bank to prevent the county auditor
from examining them to ascertain how much
the gas company had had deposited there.
The theft was committed so that evidence
upon which to base demand upon the gas
company for back taxes might be put out OF
the way. In that way the county, through
Hearne's criminal actions, was defrauded out
of large amout of taxes The stolen books
are still in evidence and can be foupd." Mr.
Harper, in concluding told how he helped
Chatfield and Woods and Wiltshire in the
Handy wheat deal; that his money saved
them, and that if he had not furnished it
| those men would be where he is now.
